Warrior10 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Looks like his time is coming, if not already here! Dan Hoppen @danhoppen16s Corey Cooper called fellow safety Charles Jackson a beast. "You're all going to find out." 1 Quote Link to comment

Warrior10 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 And a less encouraging tweet.... Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 34s Charles Jackson isn't sure how many game reps he'll get at safety. Said he has mostly been working with the 2s in practices. #Huskers Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 One thing that this defense needs is a player maker at safety. CJax fits that role pretty well. Desperately. I thought HJ was really gonna be that guy. Not that he is isn't. He still has a shot, but so far not a lot of production. I've liked CJ ever since we recruited him. He just seems like a well rounded football player. He's skilled in almost all aspects. Especially the tackling aspect, which........ya you know. Bo was quoted as saying CJ just isn't getting it all mentally yet.....then if course I caught sh#t for repeating what the coach said. Regardless, it looks to me like we have plenty of guys playing who aren't getting it all mentally, so damnit get this kid in there for a bit. Quote Link to comment

We know what we have with HarvJax and Green, which ins't what we expected. So why not throw a play maker in there. I understand that if he messes up it's most likely a TD but this guy is a baller than needs to see the field. Quote Link to comment

He plays like a baller, has a nose for the football and makes plays while constantly "making mistakes". Let the best athletes play. Much like David............ <img class="UMSRatingIcon" id="ums_img_tooltip" /> Quote Link to comment

According to Bo Pelini, "understanding the system" is a hell of a lot more important than actually being able to tackle the guy in front of you. Charles Jackson should've gone to Oklahoma, he'd be getting a lot more playing time there Quote Link to comment

Blow out after blowout and crapping the bed on your home field annually would have me believe anyone that thinks Pelini knows defense/talent might be on mind altering drugs Quote Link to comment

Charles Jackson should've gone to Oklahoma, he'd be getting a lot more playing time there Lavonte David also didn't understand the system initially yet he was a big impact player fur us. Great tackler with excellent instincts. I remember Bo ragging on him to at times. I say give him an opportunity...... Bo can be so stubborn sometimes. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Charles Jackson better play this week because we don't have anything to lose at the safety spot. Worst case scenario is he's just as good as Green or Harvey. I haven't been a "play CJax from day one" guy and I don't see how he's already dubbed a "playmaker" when I think he's made two? Plays on special teams? I think he's an athletic freak that has the potential to be very good, but lets not put the cart before the horse here. The scheme works. It worked well enough for us to win 10 football games last year with Stein and it also worked the year before with Moore and Stein. The scheme was there to win the CCG. In the CCG you can literally go back and watch a certain safety be called upon to make tackles that just didn't do his job. But what do I know? I just tend to watch the game objectively. For example, the defensive play calling in the SDSU game was horrid in the first and second quarter. Quote Link to comment

HuskerShark Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Jon Nyatawa @JonNyatawa 12h Ciante Evans on C Jackson (during an interview last spring): "He's reckless. He doesn't care. He throws his body around." Quote Link to comment
